Victor Osimhen has reportedly turned down a move to Juventus, with the Nigerian striker making it clear he won’t be joining the Italian giants next season.
Reports from Naples-based outlets Il Mattino and Radio Kiss Kiss say the Super Eagles forward has no interest in a move to the Allianz Stadium, despite Juventus making him a top target for the 2025–26 campaign.
Since arriving in Turkey, Osimhen has been nothing short of sensational. He guided Galatasaray to their first Turkish Cup triumph in five years and played a key role in securing their third consecutive Turkish Super Lig title, scoring 36 goals across all competitions.
But according to Radio Kiss Kiss, his rejection of Juve opens the door wider for Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester United, who have been tracking the striker for months.

French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also still in the mix. The Ligue 1 side, who signed Osimhen’s former Napoli teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January, are believed to be monitoring his situation closely.
Osimhen has a €75 million release clause in his contract, but it reportedly does not apply to Serie A clubs, effectively ruling out a domestic transfer.
Napoli, who still hold the striker’s registration, could extend his current contract—set to expire in 2026—by another year if a deal isn’t agreed by next summer. Meanwhile, Il Mattino claims Saudi Arabian clubs remain keen on Osimhen, while Turkish side Galatasaray are exploring a permanent deal after previously expressing interest.
